Which part of those claims do you not believe? I'm not going to spend all day finding links for stuff that is readily available to anyone with google for you because in the past when I do go to the trouble to bring you links you ignore them and act as if some quip is an actual response.

What point to take offense to? The virtual tea party that they held online? That they hosted tea party officials numerous times? Told people where to go to find the closest tea party?

So you won't be backing up your claims then. Dismissed...

Here I got you a few more.

I meant that you can point out any of my statements in that quote, your favorite one that you don't believe, and I'll get you proof for that. I'm not going to go through all of them though, so give me the one that you don't believe.

Are you talking about the virtual tea party that they had on their website?

1. "Fox news hosted tea parties"

2. "Fox News sponsored tea parties."

link?

And where was that in that quote? lol.

I understand that conservatives can't criticize fox news, but in this one instance you can't really make the argument that Fox wasn't toeing that line at the very least of covering the tea parties and sponsoring the tea parties. They ran that banner for a week straight on various shows, had numerous hosts, opinion and otherwise, ask for people to come out and join the tea parties, where you could go to find the closest one to you, held a virtual tea party on their website for those who couldn't drive out to an actual tea party, hosted various tea party officials like Mark Williams of tea party express numerous times to advertise their movement etc.

This is the quote that you wanted links and sources too. These are the examples that I gave as evidence that fox cheerleaded or supported the tea parties based on the way you look at it.

Use something that I actually said.

What you quoted is found no where in any of my posts in this entire thread. If you're going to quote something from me at least use an actual quote. It's dishonest to use something that I never said and put it in quotation marks.

Rough, I see you haven't logged off. Is your silence a concession?

Some people step away from their computers at times Rev. If you don't like the fact that I'll address stuff whenever I feel like it the least you could do is act like a man about it.

As for them running the banner, do you think I'm making the damn thing up? Do you think it's photo shopped or something? Are you trying to deny that they ran it? I think the existence of the banner is pretty good proof that it exists, lol.

4. Had hosts other than opinion hosts asking for people to come out to the tea party.

We are running out of buckets....
